Including filter system and high-performance Radium filter.
Radium is a naturally occurring radioactive metal that can enter groundwater and, in some places, household drinking water. It’s invisible and has no taste or odor, so testing is the only reliable way to know whether it’s in your supply. You may see it reported as radium-226 or radium-228 on lab results. Many Greenacres homeowners prefer a treatment that safeguards every faucet in the house rather than just the kitchen tap.
Because radium dissolves from certain rock and soil formations, its presence depends on local geology more than on everyday household activities. It often moves with other dissolved minerals, so even clear, hard municipal water in Palm Beach County can carry it alongside hardness minerals that cause scale in pipes and water heaters. If you’re thinking long term, treating water where it enters your Greenacres home—so all drinking, cooking, and bathing water is covered—provides consistent protection throughout the plumbing.
For whole-house radium reduction, an ion exchange water softener is commonly the most effective single-filter option. These systems use resin beads to exchange sodium or potassium ions for certain dissolved minerals, and radium can be removed through that same exchange process. When radium is dissolved rather than attached to sediment, a properly installed softener on the main line treats all incoming water and helps maintain uniform water quality at every tap in your Greenacres residence.
An ion exchange system has limited capacity, so correct sizing and routine maintenance are essential for consistent radium removal. The resin requires regular regeneration, and settings should be matched to your household demand and Palm Beach County’s typically hard water so the media doesn’t exhaust prematurely. Prefiltration for sediment is often helpful to protect the resin and preserve flow. Mr. Pure Water can evaluate your Greenacres plumbing and water use to recommend and install a whole-house ion exchange solution that targets radium-226 and radium-228.
